As you know, the overall suitability of the X25 for boosting our fund-raising efforts all around Devon first attracted DAAT to Marco. Since then, we've been impressed with your understanding of our needs and your helpfulness in adding the extra touches that have made the X25 just right for us.
We're delighted with the unit, which tows easily behind our Vauxhall Meriva, is a great eye-catcher and will do an important job for us. We're delighted with Marco, too, particularly your attention to special features and those superb graphics. We look forward to the completion of our second X25.
Lincoln City Council
We purchased our Marco Trailer from you back in the summer of 2003. It has proved a great investment. We chose this particular model because of its size; its easy to tow with an average car and can be sited in the places we normally want to be - supermarket car parks for example.
Its also really easy to move into place by hand. We've used it to raise awareness of recycling, for consultation on changes to the service and a week-long campaign on the joys of junk mail and how to stop it. We've even been inside during a torrential thunderstorm. Some of our neighbouring councils have borrowed the trailer; they are so impressed with it!
We used Marco for the complete package including artwork design and delivery to Lincoln. Every part of our relationship has been handled in a helpful and professional manner. I would happily recommend you to other councils.
Braintree District Council
Since taking delivery of the trailer we have attended over 30 roadshows, fetes and events this summer (2005), creating opportunities to speak directly to our residents about recycling.
During the ordering process, Marco Trailers took the time to discuss our needs and requirements so these could be taken into account, worked into the design specification and suit our budget.
Results have shown that having a trailer such as the X25 has really made a difference for us at Braintree District Council.

Exeter Leukaemia Fund
ELF has used a Marco Trailer for the last two years. Whilst primarily utilised as an Exhibition Unit at Agricultural Shows, Shopping Centres and other Displays it has been a communications unit for the ELF Challenge Walks and housed a heart attack check scheme in conjunction with Rotary and the local Hospital. The trailer is easily towed by the ELF Van (a Renault Trafic SH29 dCi 100) and does not carry a heavy insurance premium.
Commenting on the Marco X25 in December 2004, Malcolm Roker, Chief Executive of the Exeter Leukaemia Fund, said: "The Marco Trailer has grown the stature of ELF's presence at all events delivering a high level of professionalism wherever we go."
Maritime & Coastguard Agency
We are delighted with the trailer's appearance and layout. It looks extremely professional and appears to be highly manoeuvrable. We have yet to use it in anger as, of course, we only received it in late Autumn. However, I have no doubt that it will prove itself to be a very valuable resource in our various accident prevention campaigns over the summer months, portraying the MCA's image as a modern, innovative service.
DWL
I would like to take this opportunity to say how pleased we are with the service you have provided and the trailer which is, without a doubt, outstanding. It is in constant use at various exhibitions across the country and has proved an invaluable asset to our business.

The Moray Council
The Marco X25 trailer that we use has proved to be well worth its cost.
The trailer is an ideal size for towing behind a small van and pitching up in many different locations. The weight of the trailer also means that it is light enough to be man- (or woman-) handled into position, and the levelling and stabilising of the trailer is quick and easy. Its size, when fully opened, means that it only takes up the space of one car parking slot and this makes it a lot more acceptable for using in supermarket car parks, school playgrounds, communal parking areas, etc.
The external décor of our trailer is excellent. It is easily recognisable by members of the public and promotes the methods we use as a Council for recycling.
The internal design of the trailer gives full flexibility and ease for changing displays. This means that posters and information on whatever campaign we are promoting or advising on can be changed within minutes, thus ensuring that the public is always attracted to see what is being promoted. The use of the portable generator is a good extra. It ensures we have sufficient lighting during the winter months. Also the electric points enable the use of additional lighting, (Xmas light strung around the open doors are a good way of drawing attention), heating, (using a portable electric heater), and also music via a boogie box, again a good way of attracting attention.
All in all, we find the Marco X25 to be a compact, fully flexible aide which enables us to reach the public in many more places than a larger trailer would, using minimum resources and manpower.
